#1 Kevin Owens

Will KO bring the Fight Owens Fight to AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble
Will 'KO' bring the 'Fight Owens Fight' to AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble?

Kevin Owens has been a breath of fresh air for the WWE, in my opinion, since joining the company. Though he's only 33-years-old, he's been in the wrestling business for nearly two decades.

He began wrestling in the independent circuit in 2003, under his real name Kevin Steen, joining his fellow countryman Sami Zayn in IWS. Since then, 'The Prize Fighter' has accumulated multiple World championships in ROH, PWG, IWS and AAW.

Kevin Owens made his debut in WWE in May 2015, whilst holding the NXT title. The Canadian had a successful feud with John Cena, beating the 16-time World champion cleanly on his first Pay-Per-View appearance at Elimination Chamber.

Owens then went on to become a two-time Intercontinental champion, a three-time United States champion and the second ever Universal champion in history.

Owens has been astounding when it comes to mic work, putting on promos that really resonate with the audience, giving fans a glimpse back to the old attitude days. And his in-ring performances have been just as good.

If Owens doesn't get booked to fight for the top prize again soon, it would be a travesty. The Owens and Styles feud for the United States championship was strong, but imagine what these two could do as they grapple for the WWE championship at the Royal Rumble.
